Biography:

LuckyMe are very proud to present “Lucky 9teen” the new release from the innovative young producer Mike Slott.

“Mannn, this record is really great. Snow Birds is KILLING it , as is 40 Winx. A 30 minute psychedelic journey” - Machine Drum

Representing the largest collection of his solo music released to date, this ”Lucky 9teen” micro album showcases several different sides to Mike Slott from the serene atmospherics of 'The Now' to the breezy synth-pop of Gardening as well as his signature bass-heavy-slumper '40 winx'.

“Mike Slott is one of the deeply inspirational next generation beat builders pushing electronic sound into a whole new stratosphere for 2010.” - Mary Anne Hobbs

Over the last few years Mike has cemented his reputation at the forefront of futurist hip hop production. With a style that is hard to pin down - encompassing a myriad of influences from free jazz to 80s boogie via golden age hip hop. His previous work alongside Hudson Mohawke as Heralds of Change set the benchmark for the new-school of dynamic beatmakers. Since then he has released 2 solo 7”s on All City, a split 7” with Dabrye, appeared on Beat Dimensions 2, Mary Anne Hobbs 'Wild Angels' compilation and provided high profile remixes for Warp and Citinite.

“If Mike's music wasn't this good, I would be looking at his hair all day” - Martyn 3024

“Luv' Mike's music long time... Amanallah and Six AM are particularly fizzy” - Kode 9

Originally from Dublin, via Glasgow, now based in Harlem NYC Mike has many places to draw upon. The son of the late-Jazz legend Mike Nolan and brother to the modern classical composer Luke Slott, Mike effortlessly embodies his influences on this release.

“It's got a lush and beautiful thing that's hard to find in electronic music. There's always a feeling of hope in Mike's sound” - Flying Lotus

The last 12 months have seen Mike tour extensively throughout the US and Europe including high profile appearances at SONAR 09, BRAINFEEDER & CMJ. With this release we see stylistically unique avant-garde hip hop from an artist sure to move up into even bigger territory.

“Like a soundtrack to a sci-fi dream sequence. glittering lights, docking sequences, warm hearts and smiles, the ground disappearing below. Mike's music glides and sparkles.” - Jamie Vex'd
